12 miles, brakes, and dryer repair

I took Jane's 2013 Honda Accord in yesterday and had them replace the front brake pads. I debated where to have it done and finally just caved and gave the dealership the $350. Gah. They also suggested that at the next oil change I have them investigate the oil leak from the valve cover. Not looking forward to that either.

Early this afternoon I did a 12 mile run. I averaged just under 11-minute miles (as planned). It went okay. There was a light drizzled almost the entire 2 hours 10 minutes. It was also windy again, but not as bad as last week. I started out along the greenway and headed to Foster Park. All of a sudden I noticed there were 6 deer right beside me - not 10 yards away. I puttered past and they all watched, but not a one of them even moved. It was crazy.

After the run I tackled the clothes dryer again and replaced the blower fan. Back in early March I noted on this post that I was hoping it was just loose, but it worked itself back to a wobble. I'm glad I had the videos from the March 9th post. They made all the difference and it wasn't too bad of a job. At least I hope it works. I've just put the first load in and it's purring like a kitten so far. 

So, it's been a fairly eventful couple days. Jane and Carrie went to Columbus today shopping, and now I'm watching the Final Four.
